Profile:
A talented wicket-keeper described by EW Swanton as "safe and
correct", Don Brennan only played two Tests in his short career,
with the England keeping spot securely occupied by Godfrey Evans.
Brennan's Tests came against South Africa in 1951, and he let through
just a single bye in South Africa's mammoth 538 at Headingley on
his debut, but was a little less secure at the Oval. He toured India,
Pakistan and Ceylon the following winter but did not play a Test.
He debuted for Yorkshire at the age of 27, and played only six
years at first-class level. As a 'keeper he was generally unspectacular
but could bring off some sensational leg-side stumpings. He was not a
strong bat, averaging just over 10 in first-class cricket with a
highest score of 67*. As an amateur he was unable to balance
cricket and business commitments and dropped out of the game as a player.
He served for many years on the Yorkshire committee, where he
achieved some notoriety through his protracted and bitter battles
with Geoff Boycott (DL 2000).
